Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: chitin binding.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: chitin metabolic process.
2 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Chitin binding domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of extremely high expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout the larval period.
